Read the excerpt from "shakespeare's sister and answer the question.
next i think that you may object that in all this i have made too much of the importance of material things.
even allowing a generous margin for symbolism, that five hundred a year stands for the power to
contemplate, that a lock on the door means the power to think for oneself, still you may say that the mind
should rise above such things; and that great poets have often been poor men. let me then quote to you
the words of your own professor of literature, who knows better than i do what goes to the making of a
poet. sir arthur quiller-coach writes: "the poor poet has not in these days, nor has had for two hundred
years, a dog's poor child in england has little more hope than had the son of an athenian slave
to be emancipated into that intellectual freedom of which great writings are born." that is it. intellectual
freedom depends upon material things. poetry depends upon intellectual freedom.
select all that apply.
in this excerpt, woolf supports her argument by and
anticipating an objection her audience might have
developing the idea of "a lock on the door into an extended metaphor
exposing a romantic view of poverty as "great poets have often been poor"
making a counterargument

The following excerpts that illustrate darl's and cash's points of view from william faulkner's as i lay dying: from darl: tull's wagon stands beside the spring, hitched to the rail, the reins wrapped about the seat stanchion. in the wagon bed are two chairs. jewel stops at the spring and takes the gourd from the willow branch and drinks. i pass him and mount the path, beginning to hear cash's saw. when i reach the top he has quit sawing. standing in a litter of chips, he is fitting two of the boards together. between the shadow spaces they are yellow as gold, like soft gold, bearing on their flanks in smooth undulations the marks of the adze blade: a good carpenter, cash is. he holds the two planks on the trestle, fitted along the edges in a quarter of the finished box. he kneels and squints along the edge of them, then he lowers them and takes up the adze. a good carpenter. addie bundren could not want a better one, better box to lie in. it will give her confidence and comfort. i go on to the house, followed by the chuck. chuck. chuck. of the adze. from cash: i made it on the bevel. there is more surface for the nails to grip. there is twice the gripping-surface to each seam. the water will have to seep into it on a slant. water moves easiest up and down or straight across. in a house people are upright two thirds of the time. so the seams and joints are made up-and-down. because the stress is up-and-down. in a bed where people lie down all the time, the joints and seams are made sideways, because the stress is sideways. except. a body is not square like a crosstie. animal magnetism. the animal magnetism of a dead body makes the stress come slanting, so the seams and joints of a coffin are made on a bevel. compare how the two narrators tell the story of addie bundren's impending death. is either narrator reliable? explain what the reader learns about each narrator. be sure to use specific details from the text to support your answer.
